The Mystical Key and Polar Opposites quests come immediately after each other in Crimson Desert. You will have just won an arm wrestling match in Hernand tavern and helped some random villagers clean their chimney. Now, though, you have to take a mysterious key and use it to unlock a room in Hernand Castle. After…
These days, it’s rare to come across a game that feels bad to play. We’ve reached a point where you can hop into a new game in any established genre and largely be off on your merry way. But then I played Crimson Desert, which sees you fumbling across the keyboard trying to remember the…
Marvel Rivals brings a ton of new systems and heroes to the table. But what I’m interested in the most are the individual hero balance changes and the tweaks to the competitive placement match system. Players have been crying out for some serious nerfs and overall balance changes in Marvel Rivals for quite some time…
Usually, when your graphics card doesn’t appear in the system specs for a game, that doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t run it. When no Intel GPU appeared in the Crimson Desert system requirements, one might pick up the game anyway and just risk an unoptimised gaming experience. If you’re among the unlucky few with an…
SteamOS is what keeps the Steam Deck and Lenovo Legion Go S as some of the best handheld gaming PCs, despite the former’s outdated hardware.

Crimson Desert has finally arrived and, upon contact with the gaming public writ large, appears to be a mixed bag—we gave it an 80 in our Crimson Desert review, with our own Mollie Taylor dubbing it both “a game for the sickos” and “full of archaic design choices that only make sense when you remember…

More specifically, Cryo Archive runs from Friday to Monday, while Ranked runs from Saturday to Tuesday each week. This tight schedule, plus overlap between the two modes, has already proven to be divisive….
You’ll first try arm wrestling in Crimson Desert during the Chapter 1 main quest in which you arrive in Hernand. Where Rumors Gather sees you head into the tavern to try and track down info about your scattered Greymane comrades, and I guess the best way to do that is try some random-ass minigame? Priorities,…
Reviewing games can be kinda weird. When I’m playing stuff for personal reasons, there’s no deadline. No definitive date that I have to roll credits or reach 100% completion by. It’s just me and the journey. However long that takes. But I am also employed by one such website called PC Gamer, and sometimes I…
Crimson Desert launched today and has so far reached a peak of 239,045 concurrent players on Steam, which is pretty respectable for a game no one seemed to care much about two months ago.
